A man has been injured in a broad-daylight shooting in Puerto Banus, the upscale Costa del Sol resort, sparking panic among holidaymakers and last-minute Christmas shoppers.
The incident occurred shortly after 11 a.m. near a chemist by the Cristamar shopping mall. Witnesses reported two gunmen firing several bullets before fleeing the scene in a white getaway car. The victim, described locally as a German man of Arabic origin, was struck in the leg by a bullet. He sought refuge inside the mall and was treated by emergency services before being stretchered away to a hospital.
Puerto Banus remains a sought-after destination for holidaymakers, but the shooting underscores the challenges authorities face in maintaining security in such high-profile areas.
